About this Cook
25 yrs. old. Love to bake, take care of my 2 dogs and 2 cats and my husband. Work in the restaurant supply industry, spent quite a few years before that working in restaurants.
My favorite things to cook
Cookies are my favorite thing to make. Cake, pies, cheesecake, cupcakes, too! Other than that I like to make dinner for my family and try new things.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Neither my mom or dad are big cooks... so starting at a pretty young age I was given free reign to try what I wanted in the kitchen.
My cooking triumphs
merengues, bridal shower cake
My cooking tragedies
I've had plenty, the most recent being some horrifying mix of ground beef, frozen spinach, eggs, and curry!

Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches
Easy, good... I used regular bottled ranch dressing in place of the ranch seasoning (didn't have any on hand) Very spicy, a good alternative to BBQ pork or chicken sandwiches.

Simple Country Ribs
My first time making ribs, and they turned out amazing! I used boneless country ribs, but followed all the instructions exactly. Thanks for the great recipe!

Toasted Pumpkin Seeds with Sugar and Spice
When I was looking for pumpkin seed recipes after pumpkin carving, I wanted to make a few different kinds and this ended up being one. The first thing out of my friends mouth when reading the recipe was "this sounds complicated"- but it's not! Even the tradtional pumpkin seed fans who thought this sounded kind of gross really liked it! The only thing i have to say is really watch the sugar so it doesn't burn!
